I tried KatMouse once, didn't like it. There were problems that were unique to my system. Can't remember what they were though. Probably some people will have problems with Wizmouse in the same fashion. -- John Corliss BS206.

The driver for my Logitech mouse's does that but I prefer to use the standard XP mouse driver and let Katmouse provide that function. http://kickme.to/katmouse/ Katmouse also lets you wheel click through a sequence of background windows (z-order). Don't know if WizMouse does this.

My next mouse will be a Logitech in that case. 80)> I really don't like the huge memory demands that Intellipoint imposes (20 mb!) on my system. Wish there was something better to use (and also freeware) with my MS Wheelmouse Optical. -- John Corliss BS206.
